stop50··on Lula wins election after final votes tallied
If we look at fascists taking power in south america, then the us is an better suspect, since they already did this before.
stop50··on Attention people who think UB is fine
im not an c++ expert, but it looks like the unreachable macro of rust. In rust it allows optimizing the generated binary to not care about special paths. If an integer can only be 1-4, then it doesn't make sense to dedicate an code path for 0 or 5+ that will never be called. in an explicit for loop its easy to know for the compiler, but when this information crosses boundaries like function calls then it can make it easier and can reduce the binary size.
stop50··on Ask HN: Linux at work revoked due to MDM, how to fight?
If you are promised something, then get a paper trail. My company wanted me to support windows. I rejected every new contract where windows support is included. in the worstcase the manager can lie before the court without consequences.

stop50··on Why does checking for software updates often take so long?
You seem to be using windows, so i can only make guesses: Windows makes quite a few requests plus the system seems to be dynamic, meaning that clicking on the check for updates button may yield in an completly different list dendent only on microsofts whims. ms office has probably different calls to make and since windows also provides drivers via the infrastructure it could also check the drivers.

stop50··on Flock cameras used to arrest a child for playing on a swing
Is it weird for me that i think this helps pedophiles so much in finding victims?

We know that the leader flock is having security problems where literally anyone could access the livestreams, the others are probably not better.

My worst fear would be that pedophiles would use the streams to find and abduct victims in broad daylight by posing as cops.

stop50··on Peekl: An Alternative to Puppet and Ansible
From the looks of it it only tries to replace puppet. ansible has the strength that it doesn't need to run on the remote server or uses apis that have nothing to do with the remote host itself or has no access to. My aap sits in an completly different network and has access to an vault cluster that the remote hosts have not.
